<p>This week, one of my machines installed Internet Explorer 8 via Windows Update. Unless Microsoft have put me into a trial group without me realising, it seems that IE8 is now a reality.</p> [More]

<p>I've been using Google Chrome for a few days now.
<p>First experiences have been quite good:</p>
<ul>
<li>It hasn't crashed on me yet.</li>
<li>Flash ads on yahoo mail don't max out the processor</li>
<li>I really like the homepage thing that shows snapshots of your most popular pages.</li>
<li>The added functionality in the address bar is powerful, yet intuitive.</li>
<li>I haven't found any rendering problems with existing sites yet.</li>
</ul>
<p>I remain to be convinced on the skin, although I'd imagine plugins will start appearing soon for it. I also missed the homepage button until I realised it was an option you had to turn on.</p>
<p>The big downside though is the lack of a 'print preview' facility. Until Google add this feature, I'll still be using other browsers.</p>
<p>Overall though, I've been quietly impressed. If only Microsoft would give up on Internet explorer and concede to the other browsers. I'd be a happier developer then :)</p>
